Last Thursday I attended a Starr Career Development Center workshop and got to work on my resume. I want to try and get an on-campus job and for that, of course, I need to bring my resume, which I had major trouble writing. It was hard to figure out which information or experiences to include, what to exclude and how to formulate appropriate sentences. I did receive a booklet from them before, but that still wasn’t enough and I felt very unsure about what I wrote. Finally I decided to attend a resume writing workshop. The timings for those are very specific, so I did have to wait like three hours, but I think it was worth it in the end. I didn’t have to wait long for an advisor and all the workers were very nice and helpful. Finally I got to sit down with my assigned advisor and we went over all my experiences that I should include and the structure of the essay. I did actually have a lot of things written correctly, thanks to the booklet, but we expanded on all of the points I was trying to make and made sure that everything is formulated as eloquently and convincingly as possible. Now I can finally start looking for a job and making my own money!
